This is why I disconnect my machines from the network while in sleep mode (I use only wired connections). For me it’s perfectly sufficient if they update the apps while I use them.

So Google will not let me log in to my account unless I provide them my phone number? But at the same time they require a regular log in (at least once a year or every two years), so your account doesn’t get deleted?
I have an old Gmail account, I don’t use anymore, but it’s tied to my name, so I wouldn’t want someone else to use it at some point. I thinks there’s one email client that regularly connects to that account. I hope that will be sufficient to preserve it, but I would not feel comfortable giving them my phone number, when I have no other links to Google services (this may be different, if you use an Android phone anyway).
That’s no surprise to me. Ads are Google’s core business. Why should they support technologies that potentially limit their profits?
It worked on me… 😉 Anyway, I am quite happy here in Lemmyworld and this one also does not defederate that much. It’s possible that Beehaw is the little happy island for the people there, and I wish them to remain happy, but I prefer an instance with less rules and less defederation.
Their philosophy and rules were a bit of TL;DR for me.
EDIT: I guess I would be in constant fear of breaking the rules there…
There had been some downtimes, apparently due to DDoS attacks, but since then everything is fine. Actually I am not a fan of such elitarian approaches, with a hand-picked user base and too strict moderation. I am actually quite happy on Lemmyworld and was curious what would make Beehaw so special. But I’ll keep Lemm.ee in my mind as a possible alternative.
Why would I want to join “Beehaw”? Is it any better than Lemmyworld?
That’s what I meant to say, that your scenario is unlikely in my case.
Thanks for pointing me to this setting. There are two profiles, one is my personal VPN, which I use for device-wide ad-blocking (AdGuard Pro), another one is the MDM management profile. The latter one consists of a list of managed Microsoft apps (e.g. Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc.) and various (device) certificates. I guess nothing to be concerned about.
I am actually running AdGuard Pro with a custom DNS on that device.
That could be possible, I don’t know. I am not visiting any adult or otherwise inappropriate sites on that phone, but I do a lot of Reddit, Lemmy, Mastodon stuff in my free time. But it was this way for the past 10 years and I never had any problems. Sometimes I think about buying i private phone, but it seems kinda stupid to have two of these devices.

How is this with mobile devices from your employer. I have a company iPhone and understand that there is a certain “space” on the phone which is controlled by the company, mostly all the Microsoft 365 apps (so, for example it is not possible to copy/paste stuff between MS and non-MS apps).
However, for the rest I would assume that all the other traffic does not go through company servers (probably no traffic at all, as I usually have a local IP), and that they can’t see what I am doing in my other apps. Otherwise they could spy on all my transactions I do in my banking apps for example. But AFAIK iOS apps are pretty much sandboxed anyway.
This might be different on my company PC / Laptop, though.
What is this? A battle about how stupid a question / choice can get? Sounds like 5th grade schoolyard fun. Anyway, I take the chainsaw…
Quite ironic, when you think about it… - the working class defeating the communist party!
I use duck.com randomized alias emails for some random accounts that require email. Works similar to simplelogin, I guess.
What are you trying to do?
Of course you can get anything online if you go for it. But this kind of occasional nudes in my “all” timeline reminds me of the old Reddit days - and is quite nice as long as it doesn’t become too much.
So far I’ve never seen any fart-fetish community / post in my timeline tbh.
Isn’t this the scene with Karl Hungus from “Logjammin’”?
